Rosebeth (Me):

This is a very interesting theory.  I personally disagree with it.  

First we know, from PA, that people who time travel can kill there 
past or future selves.  I'm at work without the books so I can't site 
chapter.  So, if you can kill yourself you should be able to kill 
your father.

Additionally. If we assume that everything you said in your post is 
true, then it raises some rather large questions.  Who took Riddle 
back to the past and why?  And why would Harry and Ginny allow this? 

We know that Harry has spent his whole life wanting a family of his 
own, who will treat him diffently then his aunt and uncle.  PS/SS the 
opening chapters where he discribes dreams of a distant relation 
coming and taking him away and of course, the mirror.  Why would 
Harry allow his own son to be taken away from him?  If you assume 
that Harry is dead when this decision is made then why take Tom back 
in time and not allow the Weasley's (Tom's biologoical family) to 
raise him in the present? Unless, Harry isn't dead, but rather Tom is 
kidnapped.  But then this brings me back to my first question.  Who 
would take him and why?

I've run out of questions, so I'll end here.
